For years Nusrat worried about how to help her husband when money was tight, often lying awake at night in despair. She had no job experience and, in a traditional joint family, little freedom to leave the house. Crochet through Zaggy changed everything — finally, she could contribute. Her earnings have paid for household needs, supported her three daughters, and even bought a UPS to make life easier in Karachi’s endless load-shedding. Nusrat says Zaggy gave her “zindagi back,” turning her from feeling lost into feeling proud and purposeful. Each toy she makes, especially the more difficult Kozu lion, feels like a victory over the challenges she once thought she couldn’t overcome.
